Both men have been accused of varying degrees of assault. R. Kelly has been trailed by reports of sexual coercion and abuse against young women for years, while XXXTentacion, a Florida rapper best known for hits including "Sad!" and "Changes," is facing charges including aggravated battery of a pregnant woman and witness tampering. (Kelly and XXXTentacion, whose real name is Jahseh Onfroy, have each denied the respective claims).

So far, they are the only artists who have been impacted by Spotify's new policy, but it marks an important, if marginal, step for the music industry. Refusing to glorify the work of alleged abusers sets a precedent for what kind of musicians can and cannot be successful, and sends a message that this kind of behavior will not continue to be tolerated — even if that message has yet to break outside the limited confines of Spotify playlists.

Now, as the streaming continues to navigate which music it will and won't stand behind, here are 10 other artists worth reconsidering under the policy.

Brown got into a physical altercation with then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, after which Brown was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats. He pled guilty to the former charge and accepted a plea deal that included five years probation, six months of community service, and one year of mandatory domestic violence counseling. A judge also instituted a five-year restraining order that required Brown to say at least 50 yards away from Rihanna at all times.

As of May 2018, he is being sued for allegedly co-conspiring, aiding, and abetting in a 2017 sexual assault that took place during a party at his house.
